To delete a shared or public snapshot, you must use the log into the AWS account that owns the snapshot

I created a test PostgreSQL instance in AWS and deleted the instance but public snapshots are growing more.

when I'm trying to delete those, it is saying 'To delete a shared or public snapshot, you must use the log into the AWS account that owns the snapshot.'

I followed

To delete a DB snapshot

* Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/.

* In the navigation pane, choose Snapshots.

* Choose the DB snapshot that you want to delete.

* For Actions, choose Delete Snapshot.

* Choose Delete on the confirmation page.

Suggest me the way or what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

Public Snapshots are snapshots created by other people that are being shared to everybody on AWS.

They are not your snapshots and they do not contain your data. Note the second column, which shows the name of the database. Those names should be unfamiliar to you, since they are other people's snapshots, not yours.

I can see the same listing as you.

Bottom line: Don't worry. They're not yours, they're not costing you money and your data is not being exposed (unless you specifically make a Snapshot public).
